Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ECW-H16183JL is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.018 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 1600V (1.6kV) minimum (exact match required)
• Dielectric Material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.787" (20.00mm) (exact match required)
• Termination: PC Pins (exact match required)

The ECW-H16183JV meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an equivalent part for the obsolete ECW-H16183JL.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ECW-H16183JV is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete ECW-H16183JL. Both components share identical electrical specifications for capacitance, tolerance, and DC voltage rating. The substitute part is currently in active production status with 937 pieces available in inventory.

Physical dimensions differ slightly: the ECW-H16183JV has increased width (10.50mm vs 8.50mm) and height (21.00mm vs 18.50mm). These dimensional changes must be evaluated against available PCB layout space before implementation.

The ECW-H16183JV carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ECW-H16183JV directly replace the ECW-H16183JL on existing PCBs?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. However, the increased physical dimensions (width and height) require PCB layout verification to confirm adequate clearance around the component footprint.

Q: What is the significance of the different AC voltage ratings between these parts?

A: The main part (ECW-H16183JL) is rated for 1200V AC, while the substitute (ECW-H16183JV) is rated for 424V AC. Both maintain identical 1600V DC ratings. AC voltage rating differences do not affect DC circuit applications.

Q: Why is the ECW-H16183JL obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The ECW-H16183JV remains in active production and serves the same functional requirements.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The ECW-H16183JV includes RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status documentation. The main part status does not specify these certifications.

Q: What is the lead spacing tolerance, and does it affect substitution?

A: Both parts maintain 0.787" (20.00mm) lead spacing, which is the standard radial through-hole pitch for this component class. This parameter is identical and does not restrict substitution.
